anything obvious to make a mod20 easier to shift out of 4lo? mine seems to be a pain sometimes. Is there a procedure like slow rolling forward/reverse or somthing im not aware of?

76model CJ if that helpsWhen my Dana 300 jams in 4x4, I need to stop and goose it in reverse spinning the tires to unwind it.
Fresh grease on the linkages does wonders for them too.

try keeping a steady pull on the shifter while backing up.
The Model 20, actually the AMC 20, is a differential not a transfer case. The AMC20 is behind the D300 transfer case. Yes, the D300 can be a pain to get out of 4LO, and going slowly in reverse can help.
The owners manual for my D300 says 'use a firm hand when shifting', LOL!
I have had to even get the passenger out of the way to use the 'firm' hand and I weigh in at 200 lb.

There was a link to a Jeep Fire (Brush) Truck a while back that had a chain to hold the transfer case in gear. Of course I think it was to hold the pump PTO in gear but the same idea applies...
Ok I should have made it clear i was speaking of the "Dana 20 transfer case"
